Prediction
Lazio vs Como
On January 10, 2025, Lazio prepared to face Como in their Matchday 20 2024-25 Serie A game at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Standings:
- Lazio – 4th Position with 35 Points.
- Como – 16th Position with 18 Points.
With their hard determination and strong performance, Lazio made their path towards the top fourth position and balanced with their recent wins and losses. After their Europa League game victory, Lazio held a mixed bag of wins, losses, and draws with unstable results. It led them to fail to climb in standing against Inter Milan. In their previous game against AS Roma, Lazio could not secure the victory and is expected to regain momentum in the upcoming matchday 20 with Como. Valentin Castellanos is one of the key players who leads Lazio’s team in winning tough matches.
On the other hand, Como is presenting better improvement in their recent matches and holding their position to stand away from the relegation position. Still, they have difficulty entering the middle order with a high loss ratio. With a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses, Como stands in 16th position. Como had three head-to-head clashes with Lazio and never claimed a victory, raising the expectation that fans will look forward to Como winning the upcoming game and proving their potential. Still, comparing their performance and players’ stats, Lazio holds higher odds of winning the game against Como.
Empoli vs Lecce
In this upcoming 2024-25 Serie A Matchday 20, Empoli and Lecce are ready to play their game on January 11, 2025, at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli).
Standings:
- Empoli – 12th Position with 20 Points.
- Lecce – 18th Position with 17 Points.
Lecce is in a relegation position with their constant underwhelming performance in their games. This disappoints the fans, who are expecting a change in their gameplay to reach higher. After their victory against Monza, Lecce failed to secure a win in the following three matches. They are now ready to play their upcoming Serie A game against Empoli.
Empoli had better teamwork in their past matches, but after their game against Verona, their performance started to fall. Following the losing game against Torino, Empoli lost against Atalanta, Genoa, and Venezia. Now, they are preparing to turn the tides with the upcoming game against Lecce and claim their clear victory in this Matchday 20.
Udinese vs Atalanta

Standings:
- Atalanta – 2nd Position with 41 Points.
- Udinese – 9th Position with 25 Points.
Udinese is one of the most formidable teams in this Serie A season and holds their position in the top ten with consistent efforts. However, they have faced unstable win results in recent matches, and their record for the past five games in Serie A is 2 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws. To overcome their struggle and regain the path, Udinese planned to have a clear victory against Atalanta in the upcoming game of Matchday 20. Also, the rivalry between the Udinese and Atalanta has lasted long, but the Udinese have failed to secure a win in the past five matches. It increases the expectation among fans to find the Udinese will rise above against a strong team in Serie A.
Atalanta is one of the strongest teams in Serie A and is close to achieving their dream of claiming the peak position and the championship. Atalanta plays in the Coppa Italia and Super Cup along with the Serie A. And in their past five games, Atalanta lost their win streak in a match against Lazio. Even with their tough teamwork, the Lazio vs Atalanta match ended up in a 1-1 tie. Later, they played against Inter Milan in the Super Cup but failed to win against their opponent 2-0. While they are facing two continuous unsuccessful games, Atalanta holds a higher chance of winning this game against Udinese in this 2024-25 Serie A season.
Torino vs Juventus
On Matchday 20 of the Serie A season, Torino and Juventus will play on January 11, 2025, at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Standings:
- Torino – 11th Position with 21 Points.
- Juventus – 5th Position with 32 Points.
After three unsuccessful games, Torino is aiming for a clear victory in the upcoming match against Juventus. While they ended up in a scoreless tie in the previous game, fans believe Torino will regain their momentum and climb above their standing by winning their upcoming matches.
Juventus is preparing for their upcoming Serie A game against Torino to increase their standing. Juventus is the only team to be undefeated in its past 18 games and is leading forward without any unsuccessful games.

Inter Milan performed better while playing in Coppa Italia, Serie A, and Super Cup and claimed victory. While holding a better win streak, they faced a loss against AC Milan in the Super Cup. Still, they have a better record in Serie A, and fans expect a similar dominating performance from Inter Milan against Venezia in the upcoming game. Alessandro Bastoni is one of the key players who supports Inter Milan in important matches.
Venezia is the least-performing team in this Serie A season and holds the relegation position with a record of 3 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses in 19 matches. In this upcoming Matchday 20, fans are expecting a turn in tides. Still, facing a strong team like Inter Milan needs solid teamwork and tactics to overcome their opponent and claim victory. As their last victory against Cagliari, Venezia failed to secure the momentum to continue winning games. Still, with key players like Gaetano Oristanio and Marin Sverko, Venezia may have an advantage in performing better against their opponent. However, Inter Milan has a solid lineup and tactics to claim victory against Venezia.

On the other hand, AS Roma is struggling to move their position forward and constantly stays in the middle order. Their record is 6 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses in 19 matches, and staying in tenth position.
